What was your fat-based nickname as a child, and how did it make you feel?

[LindafromFlorida 1,542]

My nickname as a very young child, was Fat Gal. My dear dad, Uncles, and all men in our family called me Fat Gal. I can remember as far back as 5-6 years old. Even today I look at pictures of myself as a child, I was a plump baby but not fat, but they called me Fat Gal (especially my Dad lol) until I was a teenager. I fought my weight all my life, because I was Fat Gal? At age 50 I was reaaaallllly Fat Gal. What's your memory?

Unfortunately my nickname was Molly Moo Cow, and what hurt me so much was it was by the cutest guy.

but as an adult I was able to tell him about it and how much it hurt me and he just shrugged it off and said not everybody is supposed to be thin.

How wrong ?

My mother called me Chunky Monkey. Seriously. I wore a size 0/2 through my sophomore year of college.

Maybe some of these names will not be so funny, BUT I hope that everyone can now laugh and say KMTLB (kiss my tiny little butt).

My mother's husband would refer to my sister and I as "the hippos" - ugh... just scratching the surface of the emotional abuse from him.

I was married to an abuser 4 hard years of my life. I understand this. He ridiculed me, sneered at the way I looked, Sometimes a few words like this bring it back. Emotional and verbal abuse is worse than physical, I was told. I am laughing now, but it took a long time of healing. I hope you have healed and are laughing now thesuse2000. God Bless.

Thank you Linda! I'm glad you got out of that relationship! I am mostly healed, but there will always be scars. But they are part of who I am today, and I like me, so that works

Helen Helen Watermelon. No wonder I want to be called by my middle name

As a teenager in the 50s-60s, my maiden name was Dabbs. Most of you are too young. But I was furious to hear "A lil dab'll do ya!" (Brylcream).

Rollie pollie daddy's little fatty. My dad used to sing to me. I don't think he meant it to be mean and I don't remember it bothering me then. I do think about it now from time to time tho.
